What an amazing collection of beautiful things people are making for this challenge - please remember though, NO STAMPS, even tiny ones as it is unpleasant to have to disqualify someone when their project is so beautiful and time and effort has gone into creating it. There are some beautiful items entered so far - but we are always looking for more!

I must say the Design Team have created some simply stunning things under this theme, and such a variety of things too - plenty to inspire you as you still have five days to get something made and entered in the challenge.

Have we got some amazing inspiration for you for our current challenge! Remember, it is White on White, with a touch of one other colour. I can hardly believe some of the ways the DT have interpreted this challenge - working in paper and/or applying paper crafter techniques and working without using any stamps at all.

We swing from off-the-page items, jewelry and furnishing to lovely cards.

You may or may not be aware that the weather predictions were correct and we have had a big dump of snow in Hobart in the last week, down to sea level. Not as bad as 1986, but nearly! We get very excited about snow because it is a fairly rare event, and to get it to sea level is just amazing! However, as I am writing this up it is a sun shiny and blue day and warmer temps all round but the snow is lingering on the hills.

OK now about the challenge - for this challenge we have a prize:

A packet of lace

So July - we had some amazing entries for this challenge; such interesting takes of the theme

I'm Berina. I'm from India, currently living in Park Ridge, New Jersey with my husband and 20 month old daughter. I've been crafting in some way or other, right from my childhood. I used to make simple greeting cards for my family, learnt to make both fabric as well as paper flowers, tried my hand at embroidery, learnt to crochet and made some jewelry. I started blogging only a few years ago and that is when I came to know about the awesome world of paper crafting and blogging. From then on, there's no stopping. I like to experiment new styles and techniques. I love to learn new stuff and get creative. I create CAS cards as well as layered cards and everything in between. I love the simplicity of the CAS cards and the beauty of cards with layers and lots of embellishments. Like most of us, I find crafting to be really a stress buster.

Welcome Berina and we cannot wait to see some more examples of your beautiful work

Your project (it does not have to be a card) will be predominantly white and there can be a touch of one other colour added to it if you are also doing the TWIST.

It is winter here (well, perhaps not officially now but it still feels very much like it!) and the predictions for today is for lots of snow, down to the city - which is like saying down to sea level nearly. The last time we had snow in the city, schools were closed and people could not travel to work. It was nearly 30 years ago. This will be interesting!!

However, meanwhile there has been lots of beautiful whiteness on the mountain
